Our time in Tahoe

Our family got back a couple of days ago from 5 days in the Lake Tahoe region. Not Tahoe itself, but we know of a little resort about 15 miles southeast of Tahoe called Sorensens. It's a diamond in the rough. It's got neat little cabins and a restaurant in the middle of nowhere. It's in a place called Hope Valley which is one of the most beautiful places in the Sierras.

After the whole Wisconsin ordeal, getting laid off and getting a new job, our family needed to rest for awhile. I needed the rest to plahy with Christa and the kids.

We went hiking when we were there at Grover Hot Springs State Park. Yes, they have hot springs. Regan went in the backpack (no, it's a baby backpack) and we worked our way down a trail towards a waterfall. Didn;tvget all the way there due to a Caleb meltdown...long hike and no nap. We played by Sawmill Creek.

One things we did there that Caleb really enjoyed was breaking the ice every morning (yes, it was still cold at night and even a little snow). There was a little pond out back which froze over every night. In the morning Caleb and I would throw rocks or take sticks and try to break the ice. Caleb said it was the best thingt to do there.

Did I mention that Sorensens has complimentary glasses of wine in the afternoon? Go find out about it at sorensensresort.com. If you are going to go, please let us know ahead of time. We can claim credit and get a free nights lodging.
